Rinse, repeat

Was pressed for time Wednesday morning, so we did a slight variation of what we did last Friday.

21-15-9
kettlebell swings
kettlebell goblet squats
pushups

I used a 40# kettlebell this time. It's time to enforce my rules of nothing smaller than 45# again. Swings get me out of breath, but strength-wise they are easy for me at 35# and 40#. Goblet squats were definitely more challenging with 5 more pounds.

"Even though I have set these goals, they are not why I Crossfit. I Crossfit because I love my body. I Crossfit because it helps me to experience the present moment (my meditation).
